Yi!

A beekeeper removed a hive of tens of thousands of bees from inside a Utah couple's bedroom wall. The man and his wife moved into their home five months ago. They first noticed bees outside, then late one night, the couple heard them buzzing inside the walls. They called in a beekeeper, who found a colony of about 40,000 bees in the wall of the master bedroom. The beehive had been there for three to four years. The beekeeper removed the bees with a shopvac and put the honeycomb into boxes. He needed to remove the entire hive instead of killing the bees to prevent it from happening again.

Also, the United Nations says eating insects can help fight obesity. UN researchers found that many insects contained the same amount of protein and minerals as meat and more healthy fats doctors recommend in balanced diets. They say that eating beetles, caterpillars and ants can help people stay slim.

With spring in the air, we figured it is time…What is your bug related incident?
